ALTFL patients were older but did not differ in preoperative MORN treatment or risk factors compared to FFF. Median operative time for ALTFL was significantly less than FFF in both Grade III (298\u2009min vs. 516\u2009min) and IV (298\u2009min vs. 599\u2009min), without differences in subsites of mandible involved. Hospitalization for ALTFL was significantly shorter than FFF for both Grade III (2\u2009days vs. 7\u2009days) and IV (4.5\u2009days vs. 7\u2009days) without differences in peri\u2010operative complications, flap failure or MORN resolution. Tracheotomy was performed more often for patients undergoing FFF for Grade III MORN. Patients who underwent ALTFL were more likely to return to a diet beyond soft within the follow\u2010up period.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
